I would also say, don't bother responding to them, just do as said above and it will get taken care of. They just want attention and to spread FUD usually.

And to add to, hopefully, your future posting pleasure: supposedly the mods have arranged it that no new members may start a thread until day 14 of being a member. That should help (although I personally think it should be after 100 posts). Also, I've noticed that the mods are starting to delete all posts of people being banned. This is great as it cuts the FUD right out, but in order to keep it gone for good, we have to stop quoting them in our replies. Of course, it would be even easier if we just didn't respond to them at all, but I understand how difficult that can be some times...

Oh! But so many of my favorite posts are by the offending posters!! Sad me. Anyway, this AVS turn of events is fascinating. I wonder if any of the insiders with bad experiences there have commented? I'll go check right now!

well I hope this is a good sign and that they are seriously cleaning up

The 14 days method seems wise. We had one guy on here a few days ago that racked up 250 posts in about 24hrs.

Mods be Strong.(X-AVS HD-DUD) members are sneaky.

Rabid HDDVD fans seem unlikely to pick the most blu ray centric forum going to try to troll. It's counter productive to getting that false sense of security that comes from hanging out with other craven cuthroat fanatics in an environment dominated by them.

They can always head over to dailytech, great place for some HDDVD patting on the back.

Lets get ready to catch some Trolls

Mods keep the "banned" button close by.

It's about dawn time... the HD section on AVS Forum was i mess, and rumours started by it's 'Source' really hit the forum credibility.

I hope they return with full MOD next time. They need full time, Neutral MOD working around the clock otherwise it will become the same... again and again.
